Heilige Familie

(with a few shortcomings, but which one is exempt of any of those?)

Najwa Nimri was amazing in it, as usually.

I don't mind the scattered story-telling, I love it when shows are done like this, happening on multiple timelines. I think the only thing which could have been done much better regarding this aspect is the way they handled the essential informations. They gave away too much at the very beginning. They should have left us guessing about what is actually going on, and to reveal the facts (like who really is the birthmother of the child) just at the end of the season, it would have been more intriguing that way imo.

What was annoying was that the twins, especially Aitana continuously did stupid things... They'd probably already be in Canada if they would have been able to not blindly follow their libido for one more week, lol...

The early 00's feeling they wanted to bring back, has visually left a stain on the show (make-up/costumes), but oh well, I can live with that.

So plot/visual-wise this would be a 8/10 for me.

But thanks to Najwa who made it interesting to watch and considering the fact that I liked the show enough that I'd like it to get a second season, made me give it a 9. Maybe in the next one they'll get right what they missed here. Fingers crossed!

I was looking forward to this series, amongst other things because of the two actors from La casa de papel, which I liked very much (except for the last season). Unfortunately, Sagrada familia turned out to be a great disappointment. I was tempted to quit after the first couple of episodes but forced myself to continue hoping it might become better. But it became only worse. A totally incoherent script with shallow characters acting often randomly for reasons unknown and an inexplicable if not stupid finale. Such a waste of time.

I rated it with a 3 only because of one villain character played by Alba Flores that was somewhat digestible.

By the number of votes here on imdb and how little time is any the show spent on the top 10 from Netflix, is say this is a quite underrated show.

I enjoyed this extravagant over the top series. It's labeled as a drama but I would also add mystery on the tags.

For the people who want to watch the show because many actors are also from money heist, a warning, it's nothing like money heist.

It's a very different show with great characters that you don't know how if they're good or bad until the end. Loved the lighting, the colors, the music, the atmosphere. Nice acting and entertaining story. Dark, mysterious and at times funny. It has its flaws, it's not a masterpiece, but if you're looking for entertainment give it a go.

This is another wonderful spanish psychological drama, mystery, action with novela like qualities from the director of House of Flowers/Casa de flores. He weaves beautiful cinematography and visual symbols, and weaves past with present plot twists to tell the story. He always has a wonderful queerness that just is, in his stories which as a queer person is wonderful to watch. The leads Najwa & Alba were also in Money Heist - another great series in this genre and are AMAZING-love them. You have to be OK with the fact that this is a NOVELA - meaning over the top themes. Watch it in Spanish with subtitles to really feel the actors if you don't understand Spanish.

First, the show is really good, I finished it in 2 days, its so addictive you can't stop watching.

I liked the central topic and how it showed us the moral dilemma that mothers face. The main idea is to examine the link a mother forms with her child.

The main character here can be seen a villain, caring mother, criminal etc. But I sorta understand her pain, losing a child is always hard and accepting it can be even harder. But the question is how can a mother that lost her child do the same to another mother?

Wouldn't it be the same suffering?

Also, the actors are great in their portrayals, the atmosphere is also pleasant, I liked how it is set in the 90s.

So, a good show that asks important questions and lets you find your own way of answering them.
